Qualifications: 5-time A.A.U. Karate Champion. Captain of the 1980 US Olympic Karate team. Has a 7th degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do.
Personal History: I was the 4th child of 15 kids from a hard-working, but poor African-American family. In 1980, I went to Boston after training in Toronto for 8 years on weekends. Eventually, I opened my own studio in Rockland, MA and gave demonstrations in public schools, speaking about my belief that karate teaches discipline, focus, and self-reliance. In 1998, I moved to LA were I worked in security and got a starring role in the movie "Bloodfist." The next year, I opened my World Training Center in Sherman Oaks, California.
Workout Philosophy: True fitness, excellence, and human value come from the inside. Physical exercise is a tool to reach that inner state of grace.
Success Story: Michele began Tae-Bo in January of 1998 as a participant in the original test market group for the Tae-Bo workout videos. When she began doing Tae-Bo, she listened to my advice to try it for six months and to forget about focusing on her weight, appearance, or pants size. She worked on training her spirit, her will, her focus, and determination and - according to Michele - she learned that Tae-Bo truly worked from the inside out. Over the next six months, she droppped 8 dress sizes. She kept at it and dropped another 6 dress sizes in the next 6 months. Altogether, she lost a total of 92 lbs! In fact, she found that her accomplishments had exceeded what she perceived as her limits.

TAEBO....When all else fails..............
I started doing taebo on Feb.2,2006. I flopped around my living room much to the amusement of my children & husband too. I weighed close to 200 lbs., & was so depressed BUT stuck to it. At first I huffed & puffed, barely getting through 1/2 an hour....cut to the chase.....I've lost about 35 lbs...I feel younger & more energetic than ever & my husband can't get over it!!Thanks Billy!!! : )

BILLY BLANKS IS THE BEST
My sister in law introduced me to taebo after I had my second son. I did not think that anything could get the weight off my thunder butt and thighs. Thankfully, taebo was the one and still is. I do the bootcamp series nearly 3-4 times a week and would recommend it to anybody who is looking to tone up and look and feel great. My husband thanks you and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Billy Blanks Tae Bo
Billy is the best I've been doing these workouts since they were first offered in Collage and still use them. He is able to change the workouts so you are always challenged and motivated. There is no better and he should be rated an instructor favorite more often.

Way too complicated
I've tried to do a few of Billy Blanks videos and every one of them moves too fast. I have trouble catching up with what they are doing and figuring out if I'm doing it correctly. I think he is better for more advanced exercisers.

Billy and Taebo-Winning Combo
I have been doing TB for a couple years. This stuff is the BEST! You WILL work hard and sweat buckets but it works. It trains you from the inside out to be the very best you can be. I have lost about 25 pounds, dropped 6 inches off my waist and have a more toned body at 37 than I did in high school. Like Billy says, "If you have the will, Taebo is the way!" Thanks Billy for this awesome workout! You Rock!

The most motivating instructor!
Billy Blanks is so motivating because he seems to genuinely care about people and helping them reach their goals. He is passionate about tapping into your mental and spiritual health, which adds dimensions to the workouts that I never experienced before. His workouts are physically intense and deliver results if you are consistent. I love his workouts and actually look forward to doing them; what more could you want from an instructor

Billy Blanks videos are the way to lose weight!
Billy Blanks and his multitude of basic videos helped me lose 50 lbs. His workouts are thorough, utilizing all your muscles, and are high calorie burning and motivating! Add one 30 minute video 6 days a week to your diet plan, and be faithful-the pounds will drop off!!! I don't know what I would have done without his videos! They are extremely effective and fun as well! I have kept the weight off over 1 year now, and still use his basic videos at least 3 times a week in addition to strength training. I will always be a faithful Billy Blanks "follower"!
